Hi I created a simple plugin that extends SelectCFType. I got it to populate the customfieldoption and save the selected option value and then highlight the selected option value. I have noticed that when I stop restart the Jira, on restart the plugin gets disabled automatically, even if i enable it, the custom field created from it does not appear anymore. The ony way to get it working is to uninstall the plugin and reinstall it. Once I do this I cannot see the previous custom field say xyz created. The only way to get it only if I creat a new custom field say zzz. Once zzz is created both xyz and zzz appear. I scanned through the logs and the error I get is There was a problem loading the descriptor for module 'CustomDB Field' in plugin 'Customdb'.
Given module class: java.lang.Void does not implement com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.CustomFieldType
Not sure what the problem is
